Natsumi Hayashi: Levitating Self-Portraits

Photographer Natsumi Hayashi has an inspiring diary of self-portraits capturing her levitating(in the moment that is). It’s addictive to go through all the photos which renders her like a magical character in a video game floating everywhere. This would be an incredible coffee table book. Awesome work Natsumi. I’d love to levitate with you sometime on Tokyo =)
Look at some many of my favorites after the jump.

It looks like she could levitate. And she sure could jump high.

Nice images. I think you could work on creating a more realistic effect by playing with the shadows. There seems to be a disconnect between the artist and environment. I also think you may want to incorporate your poses into your background a bit more effectively. Some are playful and exciting, but others are merely about the levitation and I find that much less interesting.
